good video and right to the point without a lot of unnecessary steps or chit chat. gonna be doing this over my summer squash. i am sick of those vine borers ruining my squash. got the hoops in place and will be installing the netting today. i will just have to pull back the cover long enough to hand pollinate but i have been doing that for a few years now anyway as bees are scarce in my garden.

Very good work. a inspiration for me. Greetings from Germany
Great video. Thanks. I'd just add for those who are curious that using grey pvc tends to resist breaking down or becoming brittle a little better than the white stuff.
I cannot believe the people that put thumbs down. They obviously don't live in an area where we NEED this. Perfect for hail. I am building one. Tired of my garden getting hailed out.

I am in an open to the public community ( pay reasonable fee) raised garden plot. 2019 is my first year as "veggies" gardener. With 3 growing seasons at altitude of 5000 ft. and hoop house is needed in all seasons. Thanks, Keith for above hoop house tutorial. To the point and very nicely presented. I'll pass you on to many others. My community garden has 10 ft high enclosed fencing to keep herds of ELK and deer out. Also not much problem with small critters, I am told. So, again --your design should be a ' bell ringer ' for my situation.

Just a small tweak, prob use rebar that is half as long or I have even seen others use the pvc cap ends and screw them to the top of the wood bed frame if cost is an issue. Nice and clean setup
How about plant that need pollinators? Do you open the cover in the day time to let them in?

Great Video, but couple of questions - the Waterpex tubing comes in 100ft rolls, how long is each hoop, can I also use 1/2" PVC as it may be stronger in the wind. If I use 1/2" PVC will the drip hose pieces still fit and hold the plastic? Many thanks, cannot wait to do this.
@keithwilkes76293 жыл бұрын
John, I found more of the tubing in 50' rolls at my local True Value store if you don't need much. Each hoop is half the width of the bed x pie (3.14). The 1/2" PVC doesn't bent well. You have to soften it with a heat gun. And, the hose pieces are too small for that PVC. I've had 40 mph winds without an issue. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

The black things are standard drip irrigation lines. I cut them 6" long and slice them down the length. There's a colored line you can use as a guide for cutting. The white is 1/2" PVC tubing. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
